From Green Airplanes to Space Tourism: How We'll Travel in the Future | Shapers of Tomorrow (1/8)

We move around… always going faster and further. Whether it’s in the air or even in space, research is progressing and giving us the ability to travel. But this traveling has a significant impact on the planet. Indeed, 100,000 plane flights take place each day, which means more than 30 million per year around the world. The impact of air traffic on the environment has doubled in 20 years and air pollution is constantly increasing. At the same time, research is progressing and offering the first journeys into space to individuals. In light of this, could we possibly build airplanes that are less damaging to the environment? What will the planes and rockets of the future look like? How will we get around in the tomorrow’s world?

The New Race to the Moon: China, NASA and the Future of Space Exploration | Full Documentary

More than fifty years after the Apollo missions, the Moon is once again at the center of space exploration. In January 2019, China achieved a historic first: landing the Chang’e 4 probe on the far side of the Moon. This scientific breakthrough reignited global interest in lunar exploration and marked the beginning of a new space race. Why are the world’s major space powers returning to the Moon? To uncover the history of our Solar System? To search for frozen water hidden in lunar craters? To build future Moon bases, exploit lunar resources, or use the Moon as a stepping stone to Mars and deep space? This documentary investigates the new race to the Moon, from China’s Chang’e missions to NASA’s Artemis program, the Orion spacecraft and the future Gateway lunar station. In France, CNES and IRAP are working with the Chinese space agency CNSA to develop advanced instruments capable of studying the lunar surface and detecting water. In Europe, ESA is contributing to the next generation of exploration vehicles for the Artemis program. Blending science, geopolitics, cutting-edge technology and

The Rosetta Mission and the History of the European Space Agency ESA (Documentary, 2014)

For science, the breathtaking landing of the philae lander on Comet 67P is as sensational as the landing on the moon in 1964. The Rosetta mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) was designed to study the evolution of the Solar System by exploring one of the oldest heavenly bodies – comets. The mission unveiled secrets about our existence and the genesis of the solar system. The mission consisted of the Rosetta orbiter and the Philae lander. The probes were launched on 2 March 2004, travelled 6.4 billion kilometres in 10 years and, with the help of a few planet swing-bys, arrived at Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on 6 August 2014. On 30 September 2016 the orbiter philae started its controlled descent. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 – Intro ▷ 03:37 – Rosetta Mission ▷ 04:34 – Comets ▷ 09:12 – Space Race, Cold War, 1957 ▷ 11:43 – Ariane 1 ▷ 12:50 – Giotto ▷ 16:13 – Airbus Defence and Space ▷ 21:41 – Thermal Insulation for BepiColombo ▷ 24:03 – Astronaut Training ▷ 29:14 – International Space Station (ISS) ▷ 31:45
